Your careerOur graduates are creative, disciplined individuals who make a difference wherever they go. Recent graduates are now employed as landscape architects in the UK and internationally. In the UK you can find work that focuses on your particular specialism in design, planning or management. This could be in private practice, for public authorities (councils and national parks), or for wildlife and development trusts. You could work in an environment-related occupation, such as conservation or forestry. Our graduates also work in public administration and policy making, for organisations such as Natural England or DEFRA. About usLandscape architecture is about creating and conserving memorable places for people to live and work in. You'll need a flair for creativity, an ability to fuse diverse knowledge to produce imaginative yet workable solutions, and a passion for improving environmental quality and people's lives. We have received top ratings for our teaching and research. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise we were the top-ranked landscape architecture school in the UK. We offer taught courses across the breadth of landscape studies, including design, management, planning, ecological, social and cultural aspects of landscape. We provide professionally and internationally recognised vocational training. Our MA in Landscape Architecture is accredited by the Landscape Institute and the International Federation of Landscape Architects. The National Student Survey results for 2010 place Sheffield top for graduate employment for all landscape design courses with a score of 90 per cent.Learning environmentSheffield is an exciting place to be a landscape student. It’s England's fourth largest city and is also its greenest in terms of public open space and tree cover. The many urban parks and extensive green infrastructure provide the inspiration for much of our project work. In the department, each year group has access to a studio, providing a landscape-focused setting in which we perform a wide range of learning activities. Our computers are installed with the latest hardware and software meaning you'll have access to the programmes that you'll be using in practice. Our dedicated computer suites are equipped with CAD and digital imaging and publishing software, and A4–A0 colour printing facilities. In the summer of 2011 we'll return to the Arts Tower which has undergone a £25 million refurbishment and will provide state-of-the-art studios, equipped with wireless and digital projection facilities, spray booths, and portfolio and locker space.
